NYSE Euronext Activity Report on ETFs - December 2011

January 5, 2012--Listings
Last month, NYSE Euronext welcomed 1 new ETF listing from Amundi IS:
AMUNDI ETF SP500 H
In total, NYSE Euronext had 690 listings of 592 ETFs from 18 issuers. In 2011, there have been a total of 157 new ETF listings on the NYSE Euronext European cash markets, including 129 new primary listings and 28 cross-listings (compared to 111 new primary listings and 22 cross-listings in the same period in 2010).

Trading activity
With the year winding down, trading activity in December equally slowed and was further down from the previous month, which was already comparatively uneventful to begin with. Compared to all months in 2011, December, perhaps not entirely unexpectedly, turned out to be the month with the lowest trading activity of the year:

The average daily value traded on-book last month was €268.7 million, down 19.4% vs. December 2010. The total traded on-book value amounted to €5.6 billion, down 36.8% month-on-month and down 43.2% year-to-date. An average of 7734 on-book trades (single counted) were executed daily last month, up 6.9% vs December 2010. A total of €930.5 million was exchanged in block trades in December, down slightly from the €974.9 million last month but up explosively from the €47.5 million or almost ten times more than in December last year. Overall, block trade volume represented 9.4% of total regulated market ETF trading on NYSE Euronext.

The CAC 40 Index remains the top underlying index measured by turnover in 2011, followed by EURO STOXX 50, CAC 40 Leverage and DAX. These 4 indices represent 71.0% of the 2011 ETF trading activity on NYSE Euronext:

January 5, 2012--Turkey's economic growth will likely slow down to 4 percent this year from about 7.5 percent last year, a top government official said on Thursday.

Ali Babacan, one of four deputy prime ministers, said the government might further adjust its forecast for growth of 4 percent depending on developments in Europe's financial crisis. He said the economy was expected to have grown by more than 7.5 percent in 2011.

Babacan claimed the rise in Turkey's inflation rate, which hit a double-digit figure in December, was temporary.

January 3, 2011--A mass ratings downgrade of euro zone countries expected early this year is likely to increase selling pressure on French and Italian government debt, but could paradoxically consolidate Germany's safe-haven status.

Standard & Poor's has warned it could soon downgrade the triple-A ratings of Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Finland, Belgium and Luxembourg by one notch and the ratings of other euro zone countries, including top-rated France but excluding Greece and Cyprus, by two notches.

Spain public deficit may top 8%

January 2, 2011--Spain’s public deficit for 2011 may be higher than the 8 percent of GDP forecast by the new government, the economy minister said on Monday, fuelling fears the country faces a prolonged period of tight budgets and economic contraction.

It said it would now have to work hard to hit this year’s tough deficit-reduction goals in an economy seen tipping back into recession this quarter and announced new tax rises and spending cuts.
